I am informed that the new one dollar coins to be released have dropped "In God We Trust."

Maybe the mint should keep them if you believe in that trust.

Respectfully, Jim

Patrick takes this period of ushering us in 2013 to remind you that since this speech was given, the dollar’s problems have multiplied by many orders of magnitude. For your sake listen to this and contemplate that.

During gold’s reaction the Bears climb back out with their dire predictions. They pay no attention to the fact that the dollar has its foundations in sand.

Bold monetary easing seems to have become a mantra of re-elected and new governments.

A bolder wash out of fiat paper must follow. Let the government/gold bank magicians try and manipulate that away.

Japan’s incoming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed with his coalition ally Natsuo Yamaguchi of the New Komeito Party on a policy package that includes “bold monetary easing” to reach an inflation target of 2 percent.

The accord announced in a statement yesterday in Tokyo bolsters the position of Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party in the lower house, where it won a landslide victory in this month’s election. With New Komeito backing a cornerstone of Abe’s economic platform, the LDP is also in a better position to campaign for July elections in the upper chamber, where the party lacks a majority.

“Abe will focus even more on economic policies,” said Tokyo-based independent political analyst Harumi Arima. “If voters get the sense that the economy is improving, he is likely to win in the upper house and he will have a more stable administration.”

Abe is scheduled to appoint a cabinet today after the lower house names him as prime minister.

New Komeito had cautioned during the election campaign that forcing the Bank of Japan (8301) to reach a 2 percent inflation target risked undermining its independence. Abe has called for “unlimited easing” to reach the price goal and for increased spending on public works.
